Phoenix Delivery Vehicle Accident Lawyer

We all use delivery services, such as Walmart, Amazon, UPS, or FedEx most of the time. And while they all offer convenient shipping services, more delivery vehicles on the streets means more traffic. And more traffic always means more accidents.  

Unlike other incidents, delivery vehicle accidents can be difficult to deal with. Many parties could be responsible, and dealing with their insurance carriers can be a hassle. You need to consult the Phoenix delivery vehicle accident lawyers of Zanes Law if you want to recover damages after your accident.

Definition of a Delivery Vehicle Accident in Phoenix

Delivery vehicle accidents are not regular Phoenix car accidents. Many vehicles used for that purpose tend to be heavier than cars and cause more severe damage. But the most complicated part generally is determining responsibility. 

Depending on the circumstances, the responsibility for the accident could fall onto the driver for disobeying transit laws. But it also could fall onto the delivery company if the vehicle was not appropriate for the type of cargo. Liability can fall on a third party, such as a pedestrian or another motorist. 

Both delivery companies and drivers share a duty of care towards pedestrians, other drivers, and the general public. And sometimes, while trying to save a few dollars, they end up hurting people and their property. In those cases, they should be held responsible for the damages.

Injuries That Can Result From a Delivery Truck Accident

Given the nature of delivery trucks, accidents that involve them tend to be more severe. A UPS truck, for instance, can damage cars, people, buildings, and other property. Also, for the victims, being hit by a sedan does not compare with the impact against a semi-truck or an 18-wheeler.

Our law firm has helped people with all sorts of claims. Some of the most common injuries we have seen coming out of a delivery vehicle collision are:

• Concussions
• Broken bones
• Brain damage
• Spinal cord injuries
• Amputation
• Paralysis
• Back and neck injuries

All those injuries can cause severe pain and suffering for the victims. But the monetary cost of those injuries could become a lifetime debt beyond the health problems. If you or a loved one were the victims of a delivery driver’s inattentiveness or lack of judgment, an attorney could help you get monetary compensation.

Cost of a Delivery Vehicle Accident Attorney

You may be wondering, how much does it cost to hire a lawyer? Independent lawyers and firms can charge anything from $100 to $500 per hour. But keep in mind, many of them will also charge administrative fees and extra costs for investigation and litigation concepts.

However, some of the most prestigious law firms can give you all the legal services you need with no up-front costs. Zanes Law attorneys, for example, work on a contingency fee basis. 

That means when you work with our Phoenix delivery vehicle accident lawyers, they will charge for their services only after you receive a compensation package. And if you do not get any money, neither will they.

Compensatory Damages for Delivery Vehicle Accidents

We know delivery vehicles can be larger and heavier than regular cars. And because of that, victims of an accident may end up with very expensive medical bills. A charge for property damage is also involved in most cases since a victim’s car and any personal belongings inside will also get affected.  

Our attorneys have helped hundreds of delivery vehicle accident victims. Some of the damages we have recovered for our clients include: 

• Emergency services
• Medical expenses
• Rehabilitation therapy
• Lost wages
• Mental therapy
• Pain and suffering

While every case is different, hiring a delivery vehicle accident attorney in Phoenix can be the best way to recover damages if you were affected by a delivery vehicle.

Statute of Limitations for a Delivery Vehicle Accident in Arizona

Under the Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 12-542, personal injury victims must file a claim within two years of the injury. That includes delivery vehicle accidents. However, many things can alter that time frame. Your attorney can help you know for sure how much time you have.

When the delivery vehicle is working for a government agency or a government entity is liable, your time limit can be drastically reduced. Conversely, time limits can be extended if the injured victim is a minor, as the clock for them begins ticking when they turn 18.

Some delivery vehicles on interstate highways are registered in another state, which also can affect your time limit. Talking to your lawyer about the statutes of limitations is the best way never to miss a deadline.
